What are people saying about Santorini

Micah_A, Sep 2026

The BEST time!

My husband and I chose to do this experience as part of our honeymoon in Santorini. I can say that it was the best decision we could have made! Pavlos our tour guide, was very kind, easy going and made us feel like we were just talking to a friend the entire time. We got to see a side of Santorini that we would not have found on our own. Including the villages, all the animals and the local spots. Pavlos also took amazing photos and videos of us! This experience is definitely A MUST when coming to Santorini.

Santorini Food Tour: Fira Half-Day Small-Group Tour with Tastings

Ryan_J, Sep 2026

Best way to intro Santorini!

I am a big fan of food tours that combine local history with culture and cuisine. This tour delivers and checks all the boxes. Communication with guides is excellent from booking to tour. Sampling foods with other travellers was a delight, and our guide was full of interesting facts and helpful tips on Greek culture. You can skip breakfast and lunch since you will not leave hungry! Also a great first day activity to get your bearings around Santorini and tourist advice from your guide. Highly recommend!

Skip Sky Tram !!! Hassle-Free 5 Hour Tour for Cruise Passengers

Kevin_M, Sep 2026

Take this tour instead of expensive cruise ship alternatives

Alex is a fantastic guide, friendly and knowledgeable. Shared all his favourite sites on the island as well. Was attentive to everyone, took photos of us in our phones, just an all round nice guy. Everything went like clockwork. We ended up with extra time to swim and eat at the end, at the black beach. Just a wonderful day. Highly recommended if you are in a cruise ship as you didn't have to line up at the tram and pay 20 euro round trip, but instead went by boat. Much nicer! There's nothing negative I can say. Alex is the man and Christo was a wonderful and safe driver!

Santorini in a Day: Private Custom Santorini Tour with Pickup

John_B, Sep 2026

The BEST tour of Santorini!

This was a 5 hour tour of Santorini with ability to customize the experience. OUTSTANDING tour! Dimitris was our guide and EXCELLENT. Truly knowledgeable, friendly, professional, engaging. Very safe driver. We enjoyed him immensely! Our chosen itinerary was a visit to Fira (we were staying in Oia, pickup there included with drop off later, seamless!), Church of the Three Bells, on to Akrotiri archeological site- well worth the €20 ticket). We spent a hour there. Then on to black sand beach, the Monastery of the Prophet Elias (highest point on Santorini, beautiful), finished with glass of one at Santo Winery with a little charcuterie. We could not have enjoyed this tour more. Dimitris knows this island well and has any variety of sights and places to customize your tour anyway you wish. We loved that. It has high marks on Viator by reviewers and no wonder why now. We are from USA and Dimitris spoke English fluently and clearly. I think we can be tough critics most of the time in these types of tours, but this hit all the marks. Hope you enjoy it too!

Best Tour Guide and Private Tour Company over Two Weeks in Greece!

I cannot share enough positives about the experience we received from our tour of Santorini provided by Kallisti Private Tours. While most passengers on our cruise ship were displeased with their tour experience provided by the cruiseline, it was our favorite experience over two weeks in Greece. Theodore, our driver, was extremely informative, engaging, and knew how to navigate the city in efficient ways and avoid big crowds and long lines. We hit all of the typically crowded tourist areas before the crowds, took a fabulous winery tour and tasting, shopped where the Greek pottery is actually made, and ate at a great restaurant on the beech. Our deepest gratitude goes to Theodore and Kallisti Private Tours for a day of special memories. We give them our highest recommendation without reservation!

Santorini Volcano Sunset Cruise with Dinner

Michelle_H, Jul 2026

Overall a great time!!!

Come prepared & it will be amazing! Walking up the volcano? Wear good walking sandles or shoes (Worth the 5 euro!). Don’t want to buy snacks or water? Bring your own stash. Wear your suit, jump in the water! Dinner is delicious, but don’t expect it to be piping hot..you’re on a boat, remember. It’s buffet and you’re welcome to second servings of food & drink during dinner. Crew is fun, kind and keep you safe. It was a great time!!!!

Kris_D, Jun 2026

Santorini highlights tour

This was a very thorough tour of the island of Santorini. We went to Oia, the monetary, Megalochori, a winery and opted for the archeological site of Akrotiri as well. Our guide, Theo, did an excellent job. Very knowledgeable. It was just a little long, from 9 am to 6 pm. The wine tasting was wonderful and we could have ended the tour there and had lunch. No opportunity for lunch was provided, so we were pretty hungry by the end. Well worth it but just know you will spend the whole day!

Beautiful views

We were on a 6 hour tour with Sara who was a wonderful tour guide! She asked us what we wanted to see while in Santorini, so of course we said the views. Sara knew all of the best places for gorgeous views! We saw Fira, Oia, and some smaller local villages. We also had lunch at a local restaurant at the black sand beach which was delicious, especially the fresh fish.

Great Santorini Towns Experience

A great overview of the major areas of Santorini, seeing the major sites of interest with a very knowledgeable driver / guide.George, our Driver was a superb guide & because my wife & I are in our 80’s & slower walking, he often assisted my wife in negotiating the steps involved- a great and thoughtful help.

Santorini Private Tailor-Made Tour: Oia, Blue Domes & Hidden Gems

Gregory_S, Apr 2026

Dramatic beauty and picturesque coastal views that are simply breathtaking

We enjoyed an exceptional and picturesque tour of Santorini, and our driver and guide Angelo significantly enhanced our experience by collecting us from the airport. The tour comprehensively covered the entirety of the island, with Angelo leading us to all prominent attractions and optimal photography locations. This included a guided walking tour of Oia, which is accessible on foot or by donkey, and he introduced us to an excellent gelato establishment. Angelo provided clear explanations throughout the journey, and the walking tour at the Akrotiri Archaeological Site was particularly noteworthy. The tour was characterized by numerous highlights, all experienced without undue haste, and concluded with a mid-afternoon meal at the stunning Perivolos Beach, at Angelo's recommended restaurant, Forty one 41, situated on the beach's edge. While the tour's quality is contingent upon individual participation, a skilled & engaging tour guide such as Angelo undoubtedly renders it unforgettable, and we extend our gratitude to him for creating lifelong memories.
